Rotary for wax removal?

If you have the skill, you can use a rotary to finish almost any paint, but some paints are so soft like black that you need a DA. A DA, like a Flex, always finishes hologram free with no buffer marks, but with that isn't always true with a rotary. That said, we are talking about wax application here, and not jeweling, and I would not use a rotary for wax or sealant application. A lot of people start with a rotary and finish with a Flex 3401. Based on that, I can't understand how it would be prudent to use a rotary to apply wax.
I don't want to get into an argument over what is really a matter of personal choice, but I did it without any issues on a black car with soft paint. For me, these are tools to be used, learned from, and experimented with. I read many different detailing boards and there are those that swear by finishing by rotary and those that swear by DA. Take a look at all the different ways that people get beautiful results on YouTube.
It's really a matter of personal choice and how much time and effort you are willing to put in to get the most out of each tool that you acquire.
